About Love Stage!!

Izumi was born in a family of celebrities. His father is a singer, his mother an artist, his older brother the lead vocalist for the popular band Crashers. Izumi himself, however, is just a nerdy college student. He loves the manga "Magical Girl Lala Lulu" and dreams of becoming a manga writer himself. One day he is roped into filming a commercial where he wears a dress. Another actor on the set, Ryoma Ichijo, mistakes him for a woman and falls in love at first sight. As it turns out, though, they met ten years in the past. And Ryoma feelings don't change when he finds out Izumi is a boy.

Love Stage!! Seasons and Episodes

07/10/2014Season 1 - 10 episodes
#1 | 07/10/2014The Door to My Dreams
My name is Izumi Sena. My dad is a singer, my mom is an actress, my older brother is the vocalist of a popular rock band. In short, we’re a show biz family, and I, alone, am just an ordinary, average, antisocial college student.
#2 | 07/17/2014Because I Was Able to Meet You
I’m Ryouma Ichijou, and my dearest wish, to be reunited with Izumi-san, has been granted. But in the middle of what should’ve been our super-duper joyful commercial shoot, Izumi-san suddenly locked herself in her dressing room!
#3 | 07/24/2014If Only It Had All Been A Dream
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. I am Rei Sagara, a manger at Sena Productions. After filming the commercial, Izumi-san has regressed completely back into the world of otaku.
#4 | 07/31/2014But I Do Like You
Hey, there! I’m Shougo, from the band CRUSHERZ. Pleased to meet you--WISH! These past few days, my little brother Izumi (who’s the most adorable thing in the universe) has been pretty down due to a certain incident. The instigator of this incident was Ryouma Ichijou.
#5 | 08/07/2014Just a Little
Hello, Izumi here! So Ryouma and I are now texting buddies, but he keeps sending me a mountain of texts every day. Worse, he even showed up at my college--give me a break! (cries) But now’s not the time for me to get bogged down by something like that--the deadline for the Kadoyama Manga Prize is coming up!
#6 | 08/14/2014What Kind of Test Is That?
This is Sagara of Sena Productions once again. A... truly troubling situation has arisen. It seems some paparazzi photos of Izumi-san and Ichijou Ryouma are scheduled to appear in a gossip magazine. Though in a way, this could be an excellent opportunity to have Izumi-san make his show business debut!
#7 | 08/21/2014Could This Be...
Even the “Legendary Ryouma Ichijou” gets down sometimes, you know. And anyone would be down after having their greatest dream totally crushed... It hurts. There were so many times I nearly quit show biz, after getting rejected over and over again.
#8 | 08/28/2014Love Stage — Men's Style
Thanks for all your support, everyone! This is Shougo. The big press conference announcing my little brother Izumi’s show biz debut is just two days away! Now that I think about it, since my parents were always really busy with their careers, it was really me and Rei who took care of Izumi growing up.
#9 | 09/04/2014Which Way Is Right?
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! I’m so stupid!! How could I, the great Ryouma Ichijou, not realize this?! Overnight, the entire country is abuzz with talk about the exciting new star IZUMI. It took all of that for me, the great Ryouma Ichijou, to finally realize that Izumi’s debut means the whole world will now learn of his adorableness!
#10 | 09/11/2014Love Isn't Enough
Izumi here. I’d never realized before just how hard Ryouma has worked for my sake… how many things he’s done for me, and how much I mean to him. Sorry it took me so long, Ryouma. But now, I finally know what my honest feelings are. So now it’s my turn to tell you how I feel! Wait for me, Ryouma. "I need to see Ryouma right now! I want to hold him in my arms right now!!"
